To change the light bulb
The light is switched on automatically when the door is opened. Before replacing the light bulb, disconnect the power plug from the outlet.
Press the spring together and pull the grille downward at the same time.
Use a bulb of the same type, E14 socket, maximum rating of 25 W.
When the appliance is not in use
Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply. Empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the doors ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
If the appliance is left on, e.g. while on holiday, ask somebody to check it once in a while to prevent the food inside from spoiling in case of a power failure.
